Nottingham Haul

Friday, 25 March 2016

It's been a while since I last did a haul...

Last weekend my mum, aunt, and I went into Nottingham to do some shopping, have a bite to eat, and then stay over. It ended up being a really fun couple of days and I'm really glad I decided to go in the end, as I was 95% sure I didn't want to go. I totally broke my New Year's resolution of buying fewer books, though. But in my defence I'd been saving money for a while and I bought mainly graphic novels, which aren't really books. And three of them also only cost me four pounds each, which is a total bargain.

I wasn't going to buy any books, but then I wandered into the horror section of Waterstones. A big mistake for me at the best of times, but this was even worse. Sitting there, calling to me, was a copy of 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill... With a great big 'signed by the author' sticker slapped on the cover.Naturally I had to buy it, because who wouldn't want a book signed by Stephen King's son? And seeing as I'd already picked one book up I went ahead and added Invasion to my bundle because I'm a sucker for anything The Walking Dead. (Plus I already own all the other books in the series and this finished it off quite nicely.)

I did haha! I was supposed to be on a ban, but I had to get these - one of them was signed, how could I walk away from that? I haven't used my library in ages and I actually need to get my card renewed. First I need to get through all of the books I already own...
